Treatment of Face Veins with a Cryogen Spray Variable Pulse Width 1064 nm Nd:YAG Laser: A Prospective Study of 17 Patients

Abstract

The cryogen spray-equipped 1064 nm Nd:YAG laser was remarkably effective and safe for skin type I-IV patients. It is an excellent tool for treatment of facial telangiectasia with minimal risk of purpura. For the first time we appear to have a simple, safe, and effective treatment for 1-2 mm periorbital reticular veins. The use of topical anesthesia may be needed for some patients.
